Corruption in College Basketball

At least maybe now we can drop the whole "Crean was a great guy who did things the right way" schtick.

I’m more concerned with the Big brother black eye on the family. Our coach was on Sean’s staff     Some seasons ago. It looks bad and I don’t like it!

To be fair I don’t think anyone thought he was 100% clean. But pretty clean in the current standards. His secondary for Gary Harris gave that away.

I still think that IU's involvement in all of this is minimal at best given who was our coach then and the circumstances under which he took the job, but if there is anything, just tell the NCAA to F off. The FBI is about arresting dirty coaches, agents, and the middlemen, not postseason bans and scholarship reductions. Unless something big happens involving us, we're on the low end of the totem poll...if there at all.

Why?

For all we know as of right now, he could have known about the Dawkins/Martin contact and told Martin to tell him to go pound sand.  Which may have ultimately saved us big time.

Yeah, luckily we didn’t get the wrong player at the wrong time. The coach isn’t here to answer to the NCAA if they had questions. He is looking at all of this thinking if he comes out clean he has a job next year at a big school. Will laugh if he ends up at Zona or something like that.

At least Zona won't have to vacate any National Championships....

I'm just trying to think of our current coaching staff and if they could potentially get caught up in this.

Archie Miller was on Sean's staff at one time.  Not gonna lie, that makes me nervous.

Ed Schilling was a pretty good recruiter at UCLA, they got some talent the years he was there.

Ugh.

After reading through several threads, here and elsewhere, I suspect Tim Garl is going to be busy guy what with all the pulled hamstrings from jumping to conclusions. LOL

[HinnyHoosier 5,377]

I wonder what info will be dropped tomorrow. And the next day. And the day after that....

Yeah for real, it's crazy to think about what's been learned since I woke up this morning.

I still think duke will skate unless coach k is on tape. Now I could just see iu get nailed for something involving Bryant. Hope I'm wrong.

Yahoo and others still have plenty reading left to do. I'd imagine someone is up late writing another story as we speak. They're probably stretching it out, too. The more publication, the better. It's a gold mine for them.

I'm just going to put this out there, and I don't know how relevant it actually is to this discussion, but given the cost of college these days and how many kids are graduating with debt, I find the entire concept of an athletic scholarship incredibly stupid. 

And yet we have "student athletes" not only getting full rides, but this extra crap on the side too? I realize they're adults and deserve to get paid what they're worth, but how about taking a step back and reexamining the role of sports at a university in general?

I find it awesome that we grade this crap on a curve. Cheating is cheating. Calipari, Roy Williams and Pitino have been accused, but until earlier this year, all have managed to slip away clean. Pitino finally got fired, and that, deservedly... the others need to go... and then the "lesser cheaters" need to get theirs.

Coach K is too smart for that. The communication in these dealings need to have more layers than an onion. That's how you stay protected unless there is a whistleblower in your crew.

He was crucified for it, but Lance Armstrong only started doping when it was apparent that all the other podium riders were and he couldn't compete otherwise. Doesn't make it right, but I think a lot of otherwise good guys cheat because they can't be competitive if they don't play the same game. That doesn't excuse what's going on but it does explain it to some degree. Put yourself in these coaches position and with your job on the line, what would you do.

The main course still needs to be served. I’m hoping Iu is safe. Go hoosiers
